"It was 345hp at the tyres, at 21 pounds of boost."

Not too FU%$#ing shabby at all, i assumed it would've been around the 350hp mark. I thought it may have been between 350-400 due to the wheelspin you were talking about, as it's bassically wasted horsepower not being transferred to the ground. Is he intending on doing anything to get it to bite harder off the mark (diff, tyres, springs, suction caps, superglue etc.) ? Were the 11 sec 1/4's obtained using slicks or a street trim set-up ? And did he run the 1.5 bar of boost on the track or more ?
Those dudes down at Redcliffe Dyno seem to be pretty on the ball, did they sort the car out originally coz this is about the 8th freak of nature i've heard of them playing with. If i ever decide to go ballistic on a car, i'll definately be giving them my keys.
Cheers,

putting out that sort of power you would think it would have ran 10s, after all look a spries, same power and its running mid 10's.

so what engine does this redcliffe car run?

clevland v8 i think?? duno, im not to knolaged on v8s lol

yeah it has potential to run high 9's if he could get traction. he runs it on 21psi all day everyday. hes never run it on slicks, just 205/60/14 street tyres. dunno if he is gonna be doing anything in the ways of getting power to the ground, i think he likes it like that, if u know what i mean;) LOL
